Women’s Participation in the Rally

Women played a prominent role in the 2026 Quds Day demonstration.

Photos from the rally show large groups of Iranian women holding Palestinian flags and participating in chants.

Women’s participation highlights how political activism in Iran often involves community mobilization, especially around national and religious events.

Anti-Israel and Anti-US Sentiment

The Quds Day march has historically included strong political messaging against Israel and the United States.

Participants at the 2026 rally chanted slogans criticizing both countries.

These sentiments are deeply connected to Iran’s long-standing political position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Since the 1979 revolution, Iranian leaders have consistently supported Palestinian groups opposing Israeli policies.
